When I owned Mac gear, I preferred "fast" cables like the Kimber (KCAG).or , for a much more expensive option, Stealth Indra. I found that Cardas, kubala and other cables that are not as fast but tend to reproduce great tonal characteristics were not as complementary IMHO.
Why nobody uses McIntosh with Vandersteen?
Is it a classic mismatch or what? I mean nobody recommends Vandys for Mac and vice versa. I love both brands but if I buy Vandersteen 3A Signature I'll have to start looking for amps. I once tried hooking up 6900 to 3A Sig's and on 4Ohms the sound was dead while on 8 Ohms it was alive but thin. Is it the autoformers?
